NECKTlE-FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 356,314, dated January 18, 1887 Application filed May 24, 1886. Serial No. 203.086. (N0 model.)

T0 aZZ whom it may concern: A

Be it known that I, HOMER O. HILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Clinton, in the county of .De WVitt and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to a simplified construction in necktie-fasteners made or formed from one piece of metal, as herein shown and described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents my fastener as applied to the band of a necktie and collar. Fig. 2 is a side view of the fastener. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the form from which the fastener is made, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the fastening detached.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the form as shown in Fig. 3, formed or made from sheet metal, terminating at one end in a sharp point for inserting it into and between the band and lining attached to the necktie. The form is inserted from the lower edge of the band, the point of which is allowed to extend somewhat above it for the purpose of clinching it against the lining of said band. thereby rigidly securing it to the same, while the lower end is bent or formed into aloop for-receiving the lower edge of the collar, as shown-in Fig. 1.

By preference I arrange the fasteners as shown in Fig. 1, thereby obviating any liability of the loops becoming accidentally disengaged.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A necktiefastener made or formed from one piece of metal, consisting of a plate terminating at one end in a sharp point, and the opposite end in a loop, as herein shown and described. v

2. A necktie-fastener made or formed from one piece of metal, one end of which terminatesin 'a point for inserting and clinching it to the band, and the opposite end formed into a hook for receiving the collar, as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HOMER O. HILL.
